The Engagement
by Judy Halebsky
Naoshima, July
I wanted to sing on the beach but instead
he explained the ecliptic how planets travel
on a flat plane how the moon
crosses the sky on the same line as the sun
how when we spin we stretch out our arms
note
Japanese Translation by Ayako Takahashi.

直島、7月
私は ビーチで本当は歌いたかった だけどその代わり
彼はレクチャーした 日食について どうやって平らな飛行で
惑星が動くのか どうやって月が
太陽のように 同一線上で 空を横切るのか
私たちが回転するときに どうやって 腕を伸ばすのか
